The Awakening Of The Luna

021; Yoda ✨✨✨

We walked in silence, He walked ahead and i behind, and his long legs made it impossible for me to keep up. He was taller than before, or maybe my mind had played tricks on me, because I did not expect him to be so tall.

He towered easily over me, and I felt smaller than I actually was near him, There was somthing about this man, that I still hadn't understood. His name was Mikel, Beta Mikel, He was the second in command to Alpha Cana but I felt he commanded more respect than a beta, He seemed to be the match behind the flame in the state of Cana and I did not know how to feel, except be wary of him. He was a dangerous man.

Beta Mikel had taken me far away from his chambers, He gave no clue of where we headed to , and expected me to blindly follow for fear of my life, ''Where are we going?'', I dared to ask him at the begining of our journey, but he simply shrugged his shoulders while saying, ''It is all too familiar to you''.

I dared not ask again, I was inquisitive but I feared for my life greatly.

We had walked past the main castle and slowly headed for the stables were a stud of horses were, They were men all around, they catered for the horses, and were just as fit as Beta Mikel. As we drew closer to them i noticed the men stop talking abruptly, They stared at us and start giving us subtle looks that doesn't surpass me, I was ignorant to it and could not understand what was going on, but then i saw it, a subtle smirk on Mikels face and an eye roll and then it clicked.

They were communicating with each other. I could tell it was related to us, but what were they talking about exactly?

''The Horse is ready'', A man said to Beta Mikel as we approached them. The man in question was just as tall, He wore a leather suit and pants and his black hair was styled to the back. He stepped forward as we stopped walking and motioned towards an eight feet tall brown horse that was being tamed by two men.

I forced my lips shut to stop myself from grinning when i spotted the beautiful Horse, It was majestic in all forms and i felt eager to stroke its hair but refrained myself from doing so as this horse looked far from normal, at least in my eyes.

''Do you know what breed of horse that is?'', Beta Mikel moved from my front leaving me to fully face the men.

I looked down instinctively , but then i hear someone clear their throats and i realise the question has been thrown to me, I step forward feeling the eyes of everyone on me, ''What breed of horse?'', I looked at the height of the horse and the luxurious brown colour of it;s skin and i smile.

''It is a Thoroughbred''. I said confidently, The Thoroughbred was one of the fastest in Belrig, and though it was a prized possession for an Alpha, i Had come across one in the Triante Mansion.

''Correct''. Mikel said, The corner of his lips curved into a smile which i noticed , I noticed how most men looked at me with wide eyes like i had accomplished a great feat. It was comical because i knew if anyone, male or female payed attention enough they would notice as well.

''The horse's name is Yoda''. Mikel said moving closer to the animal, He kept his hands behind and even when he released the other to stroke the animal, He still kept one arm behind.

Mikel stroked the horse tight and then turned to me, He raised his eyebrows, I understood and so i sighed inwardly and then smiled outwardly, 'Yoda is such a nice name'', I commented in a polite way.

“Tame the horse”. Mikel said to me suddenly and I shifted on my feet backing away, I had fallen into a set up and I had no way to escape.

The Thoroughbred may be the fastest horse in Belrig, but it was the hardest to tame, The horse was proud and was never afraid to attack a human being, even though it was a werewolf trainer, it attacked anyone. I was a frail human who was being assigned to the Thoroughbred, what more could go wrong.

I looked at him in the eye for the first time ever, I saw Mikel’s golden eyes lower, before they looked away from mine, He pitied me, but was adamant to kill me still. My fate was already decided.

“Josiah and Franken, Leave the horse”. He ordered to the men, who looked at each other and then at me before looking at him, They hesitated as well, I couldn’t tell what they saw in me, but their eyes pitied me as well, I Realized my heart was hammering in my chest and my chest heaved up and down, visually for anyone to see. I was scared for my life.

Please save me..

“Beta!, She is but a young girl, a human”. One of the men tried to object .

“It is an imperial Order”. Mikel said and in that moment they stepped away from the horse, not just Josiah and Franken, they all did, They took the remaining horses back into the stables while the Thoroughbred Yoda stood alone in the field with the last man holding it down.

It was restless, Yoda kicked itself off the ground and neighed at the man, I felt my eyes fill with tears and my breathing become uneven, I shook my head and closed my eyes ever so often, I can not die, not now....

No one heard my pleas, rather the Beta gave the final command, “Franken leave the horse!”.

My fate was sealed, Franken left the horse and ran away, immediately The horse was loose and free and it did not hesitate to stretch itself out. It was loud and aggressive and I could tell it wanted blood, my blood.

By now my cheeks were wet, tears flowed freely as I stayed rooted in my spot, I looked around and the field was wider than I had imagined for a secluded castle, I could see trees ahead, a huge forest ahead one I hadn’t noticed. A plan suddenly came to mind.

In the instant I heard it, 'Go Marceline!!!”. I put my plan to action.
